lutron, you really need to update your journal more often!
Anyway, Hume was the greatest. No other philosopher had a clue. And he was apparently not only an even-tempered sort (joining the select club including Kant and Spinoza who lived their doctrines) but also very kind towards poor Rousseau.
So if Hume said it first, he was probably even more right than I am.
I don't know from moral necessity, but "should" as it's often used in reasonings is contingent; something "should" in order for something else, and what's the end-justifier?
